59: Chapter 59 Let's have a chat, Mr. Gao.

"Old Gao, I've truly seen it all! Others spend money on advertising, but you... you make money while advertising! 'earth rescue' is just an extended commercial, yet people are watching it with such gusto!"

Gao Yuan had a smug look on his face...

"It's nothing. So what if it's an advertisement? Let me ask you: were the special effects dazzling? Was the scale shocking? You put in a lot of effort this time too. Although the Watson matter was debunked, we achieved our goal! The fact that so many foreign distributors are looking for us now is proof..."

Hearing this...

Zhang Baiyi revealed a mysterious smile. "Old Gao, you're speaking a bit too soon! Yes, it was debunked, but now... the debunking videos have all been deleted. Of course, the videos we posted were deleted too. But do you know what such a deletion signifies in the eyes of the gossip-hungry public?"

Gao Yuan's eyes lit up. "The more they try to hide it, the more it shows?!"

"Exactly... If they hadn't deleted them, the video I posted would have just been a small episode. But now that everything's gone, it means that in the minds of many people globally... I've become Watson's boyfriend. Don't you think that's exciting?"

"It's just something about a minor star; it's hardly exciting! Since you put it that way... I want to know, were the videos we posted earlier about the United States President also banned?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"They actually were... but it doesn't matter!"

Gao Yuan gave a meaningful smile. "Interesting. It seems the elite class of the United States has reached a consensus regarding the Vice President of the USA taking over! Whether the President is alive or dead, he certainly won't be making any public appearances!"

However, the affairs of the United States were still too far removed from him...

As long as he could make money from them, Gao Yuan didn't care at all whether they were in turmoil.

Zhang Baiyi echoed, "Yeah, I'm afraid the top brass of the United States knows by now... that video..."

At this point, Zhang Baiyi suddenly turned pale.

Gao Yuan understood instantly. "Holy crap, you showed your face! They'll trace it back to us in minutes! We can't stay in Qinjing; let's go back to Muza!"

The robots in the Muza Black Fish Technology Industrial Park were all purchased by Gao Yuan from the Future World...

These robots were absolutely loyal.

Gao Yuan planned to buy a batch of security robots as soon as he got back to strengthen security measures.

Previously, he had only cared about having fun and being satisfied... He hadn't realized the danger of Zhang Baiyi showing his face.

Someone in the United States had discovered so quickly that these videos were from the same person, and Zhang Baiyi had appeared in them—this was awkward...

Zhang Baiyi was the Vice President of Black Fish Technology; by now, the United States top brass likely had their sights on Gao Yuan!

It was likely that someone would come knocking very soon.

Gao Yuan threw his skewers directly onto the table...

"Old Zhang, let's go..."

Zhang Baiyi also looked solemn...

"Let's go!"

"How are we going? Driving?"

"No, that car will likely be exposed soon; let's leave it here! We'll book flight tickets... and head back to Linzhou first!"

A flight at 3:00 AM...

The plane at this hour was deserted, with almost no one on board...

Gao Yuan and Zhang Baiyi boarded the plane...

But Gao Yuan felt a sense of unease in his heart, silently cursing himself. It seemed he couldn't play this video-making game too often in the future, and even if he did, he couldn't put himself or those around him in the videos anymore...

Soon, the plane took off. It only took over an hour to get from Qinjing to Linzhou. In such a short time, Gao Yuan felt that nothing unexpected should happen...

Moreover, airport security was very strict, and both he and Zhang Baiyi had reacted quickly...

Gao Yuan closed his eyes, preparing to rest for a while...

Suddenly, he heard movement in the cabin. Three young men of Asian descent were walking through the cabin. They pretended to go to the restroom, starting from the last row and walking forward, looking at every person as if they were searching for someone!

Gao Yuan felt a sense of alarm and nudged Zhang Baiyi beside him. "Something seems wrong. Look at those three men..."

As soon as Zhang Baiyi turned his head, he locked eyes with the three men...

Cursing his bad luck, Zhang Baiyi ducked his head, trying to slip by unnoticed, but he saw the three men walking quickly toward them.

They came directly in front of Gao Yuan and Zhang Baiyi. The cabin was only so large; there was nowhere to hide, and any movement now would attract their attention...

The three men walked up to Gao Yuan, looked at him, then at Zhang Baiyi, opened their phones to check something, and nodded to each other.

One of the young men pulled a laptop out of his bag, pried a tubular object out from where the laptop battery was, and with a snap of his hands, it turned into a pistol...

The young man pointed it at Gao Yuan. "President Gao, Vice President Zhang... I have long looked forward to meeting you!"

Although he spoke Mandarin, Gao Yuan could tell immediately that he was from the Southern Dynasty. Among the neighboring countries around Xia, almost every nation had distinct ethnic characteristics...

Gao Yuan looked at the young man. Quibbling was meaningless now. He felt the transformer at his waist; it was still there. He instantly calmed down, and his heart settled significantly...

"Who are you working for?"

Just as he finished asking, a flight attendant saw the situation and walked over to inquire. Another young man removed his belt buckle, snapped it open to reveal a knife, and pointed it at the flight attendant. "Don't cause trouble... this has nothing to do with you!"

The flight attendant's face turned pale with fear.

The young man followed up, pressing the knife against her waist. "Take me to the cockpit. You know what to say and what not to say, right?"

The flight attendant nodded vigorously...

"Don't be nervous. As long as you're obedient, we won't hurt you..."

The young man urged the flight attendant forward. They were likely going to control the pilot and change the flight path; after all, if the plane landed at Linzhou Airport, they wouldn't be able to take Gao Yuan away.

The third young man also produced a gun and walked through the cabin. "Everyone stay calm. This doesn't involve you. It's best not to make any unnecessary moves, otherwise, it would be bad if a misunderstanding occurred..."

The three of them had a clear division of labor...

They were clearly well-prepared. Gao Yuan's heart sank. Taking this flight had been a spontaneous decision; he hadn't expected to be targeted anyway. How were they so fast?

Who were these Southern Dynasty people working for? The United States government? Or... were they from Nine Stars?

Gao Yuan looked at the young man in front of him and asked coldly, "Is it money you want, or technology?"

The young man looked at Gao Yuan and forced a chilling smile. "President Gao, we mean no harm. We just want to invite President Gao and Vice President Zhang for a chat..."

"Where to? It wouldn't happen to be the Southern Dynasty, would it? Then you're looking for death..."

Gao Yuan asked.

The young man gave a mocking smile. "You know quite a bit. Do you think I'll tell you? It's useless... We're on a plane now. If you don't cooperate, the best outcome is a crash. You... you... and all of them will die together!"

The young man pointed at Gao Yuan, then at Zhang Baiyi, and then at the other passengers in the cabin...

Gao Yuan smiled. "Of course I'll cooperate. There's nothing that can't be discussed, right? I'm a businessman..."

"Good that you understand..."

Then the young man shouted something toward the front. Gao Yuan didn't understand it; it was likely Korean... spoken very quickly.

The other party quickly responded, and the young man smiled.

"Alright, from now on, don't speak and don't move unless I tell you to... understand?"
